Dice the red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic clove. Chop the green onion and fresh parsley.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add the cooked white rice to the skillet along with the peas and stir everything together. Pour in the unsalted chicken broth and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
Season the rice with black pepper and mix in the chopped green onion and cherry tomatoes. Remove from heat and transfer the rice mixture to a plate.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and add a tablespoon of water to make them fluffier. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a clean skillet over medium heat.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly over the surface. Cook until the edges firm up and the center is still a little soft.
Place the rice mixture in the middle of the omelette and fold the omelette over the rice, creating a parcel.
Slide the omelette rice onto a plate, seam-side down, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
